dunno about tons, maybe a couple of pounds after spending a lot of time
messing around with it.

..it didn't show when i looked for it under categories, but i ran a search
for mplayer and found

ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/PLD/current/dists/ra/PLD/i386/PLD/RPMS/mplayer-0.90pre4-2.i386.rpm

however i was unable to find the 'gui' RPM i got from them the other day.. so
this package will probably install the commandline version only.

( looks like they had to take the Mplayer RPMs off sight. as you may already
know, Mplayer developers do not build/support/recommend/allow Mplayer 
precompiled binaries. )


at this point i should probably recommend you to download the source
from mplayer's homepage and compile. it's the only way to know it will work.

anyway, try this download and see if it works for you. post back if you 
encounter new problems or decide to compile from source, or if you
can't find the right commands to make Mplayer work.
